WordStream Is THE Cross-Platform Advertising Solution

Everything has been building to this moment. When WordStream began, it was all about search keywords. But as we've seen in the last few years, many types of marketing are converging.

For advertisers, the question is no longer should you invest in search or social. You need to reach consumers wherever they are – and that means on the search engines and social networks.

Obviously, your customers are using Google and Facebook. You get far more out of search and social advertising when you use them together, so it's only natural that you’d want to view the key metrics together in one place.

Social media is great for creating demand for your products or services – to reach and target the types of people who are likely to be interested in what you sell, but just don't know it yet. You can then harvest that demand with search.

People who have seen your Facebook ads are more likely to click on your stuff in paid search ­­– and vice versa. Brand familiarity is HUGE for conversion rate optimization. Also, when people see your paid search ads, you can remarket to them on Facebook.

Now we've truly brought search and social together for marketers, making WordStream a uniquely cross-platform advertising solution for SMBs.
